    020 * <p>
    021 * An implementation of the {@code Synchronizer} interface which does not
    022 * perform any synchronization.
    023 * </p>
    024 * <p>
    025 * This class is the option of choice for applications that do not access
    026 * configuration concurrently. All methods required by the {@code Synchronizer}
    027 * interface are just empty dummies. Therefore, this class does not have any
    028 * synchronization overhead. Of course, configurations using this
    029 * {@code Synchronizer} implementation are not thread-safe!
    030 * </p>
    031 * <p>
    032 * Implementation note: This class is an enumeration because only a single
    033 * instance needs to exist. This instance can be shared between arbitrary
    034 * configurations.
    035 * </p>
